Retro Dizzy, Runaway Nuns & Dangerfields at Mercury

Retro Dizzy played a packed show in Mercury back at the end of September and, I must say, Mercury looked better than I’d seen it, well probably ever – balloons, lanterns and streamers abounded and a snowy old TV formed the bizarre centrepiece on the bottom left corner of the stage. Completing the musical lineup were the highly entertaining and energetic Runaway Nuns and my favourite local post-punks Dangerfields.

Here are some shots from the night.

Oppikoppi 2016: The unsea Day 3

Posted on: October 26, 2016

Sun
7 August
2016

By day 3 of Oppikoppi 2016 I was well and truly feeling like death. Two nights of no sleep and a relentless fever are not conducive to a happy festival experience…but what can you do? I think I just shut off my mind and let my body lumber around as best it could by itself.
